First, I'd like to take a moment to thank all the brilliant and creative people here for keeping this thing alive. I just got around to checking it out about a year or so ago. BRILLIANT stuff here. I'm looking forward to seeing how the community works, and hopefully learning enough to contribute someday.

I set my handle to an rpg character name. It's one I started in Anarchy Online, and I've had some good times with it in that and other MMORPGs. Looking forward to continuing the tradition here. You can call me Andrew if you like, as that's my given name.

I'm 42, married to an amazing wife who puts up with me; a father of a pretty cool son, 13; a Burner of about ten years now; part of the "old guard" of gothic and industrial music nightclubs in L.A.; a karaoke host; someone who pretends to be a DJ; bad with names, good with faces.
